Power through with classical music
Episode m00126z5, broadcast at Wednesday 8th December 2021, 7:00pm.
“In tonight's In Tune Mixtape, we dance to the tunes of Beethoven and Johann Strauss II before a thieving magpie catches our ear, and dark flames of love dart from the eye of Dame Janet Baker singing Mahler. A clog dance and dazzling Norwegian folk dance conclude our sequence, and we start tonight in the equally dazzling Spanish sunshine.”
